Bridging Native and Intrinsic Structures of Microhydrated Biomolecules by Cold Ion Spectroscopy

Solving native structures of such large molecules, like biomolecules, is often challenging, particularly due to the potentially infinite number of non-covalent interactions with water. In this thesis, we report the use of cold ion gas-phase action spectros ...

Doppelganger-based training: Imitating our virtual self to accelerate interpersonal skills learning

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues, Marion Sandy Curdy

Interpersonal skills require mastering a wide range of competencies such as communication and adaptation to different situations. Effective training includes the use of videos in which role models perform the desired behaviours such that trainees can learn ...

Drosophila melanogaster cloak their eggs with pheromones, which prevents cannibalism

Yury Tsybin, Laure Menin, Konstantin Nagornov

Oviparous animals across many taxa have evolved diverse strategies that deter egg predation, providing valuable tests of how natural selection mitigates direct fitness loss. Communal egg laying in nonsocial species minimizes egg predation. However, in cann ...

Dynamic Graffiti Stylisation with Stochastic Optimal Control

Sylvain Calinon

We present a method for the interactive generation of stylised letters, curves and motion paths that are similar to the ones that can be observed in art forms such as graffiti and calligraphy. We define various stylisations of a letter form over a common g ...

New antimicrobial surfaces and intravascular catheters for the prevention of healthcare-associated infections

Myriam Koumba Sarah Ballo

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are an important health issue around the world. The consequences of HAIs incidence include prolonged hospital stays, increased resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobials, higher costs for health systems and for t ...

From cineradiography to biorobots: an approach for designing robots to emulate and study animal locomotion

Auke Ijspeert, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Tomislav Horvat, Robin Thandiackal, Konstantinos Karakasiliotis, Navid Khajeh Mahabadi, Stanislav Yuri Tsitkov

Robots are increasingly used as scientific tools to investigate animal locomotion. However, designing a robot that properly emulates the kinematic and dynamic properties of an animal is difficult because of the complexity of musculoskeletal systems and the ...

JPEG XT: A Compression Standard for HDR and WCG Images [Standards in a Nutshell]

Touradj Ebrahimi, Philippe Hanhart

High bit depth data acquisition and manipulation have been largely studied at the academic level over the last 15 years and are rapidly attracting interest at the industrial level. An example of the increasing interest for high-dynamic range (HDR) imaging ...

On the effects of colluded statistical attacks in cooperative spectrum sensing

Ali H. Sayed

Cooperative spectrum sensing is vulnerable to attacks from malicious nodes, especially when collusion occurs. In this paper, we analyze the effect of colluded statistical attacks and show that collusion could cause performance degradation in terms of both ...

Electronic Elements Governing the Binding of Small Molecules to a [Fe]-hydrogenase Mimic

Xile Hu, Matthew Wodrich

[Fe]-hydrogenase, one of three types of hydrogenases, activates molecular hydrogen. Here, using DFT computations, we examine the electronic elements governing the binding of small ligands to a recently synthesized [Fe]-hydrogenase biomimic. Computed reacti ...

Engineering the Regenerative Microenvironment with Biomaterials

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Mikaël Martino, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez, Federico Tortelli, Jeffrey James Rice

Modern synthetic biomaterials are being designed to integrate bioactive ligands within hydrogel scaffolds for cells to respond and assimilate within the matrix. These advanced biomaterials are only beginning to be used to simulate the complex spatio-tempor ...
